Agreement between telerehabilitation and face-to-face orofacial myofunctional assessment in persons with acquired brain injury (EN)
by Zapata-Soria, M., Munoz-Vigueras, N., et al.
May 26, 2023
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of agreement between face-to-face and tele-assessment of an orofacial myofunctional protocol in a sample of persons with acquired brain injury.
Audiophonologopedic Telerehabilitation: Advantages and Disadvantages from User Perspectives (EN)
by Lauriello, M., Angelone, A.M. et al.
August 31, 2024
TYPE OF TOOL: Research paper.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to explore user perspectives on telerehabilitation, comparing ti to tradional methods and identifying criteria for determining its suitability for different patients and clinical conditions.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: According to the authors, the study reveals a favourable perception of telerehabilitation as a therapy approach to be regarded as a supplement or temporary option to the irreplaceable face-to-face one.
Considerations for Speech, Language and Cognitive Assessment via Telepractice (EN)
by American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
TYPE OF TOOL: Resource Website.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: This resource provides guidance for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) conducting assessments of speech, language, and cognitive communication via telepractice. (Assessment of swallowing or feeding is not included.)
DIGICOG-MS (EN)
by AISM Foundation
TYPE OF TOOL: Mobile app.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians and clients (in Italy).
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provides a digital self-assessment system of cognitive functioning most affected by MS, such as information processing speed, verbal and visuospatial memory, and language.
Improving Functional Communication Outcomes in Post-Stroke Aphasia via Telepractice: An Alternative Service Delivery Model for Underserved Populations (EN)
by Carr, P., Moser, D., et al.
December 13, 2022
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: All participants demonstrated improvements in CCRSA scores, total words produced correctly on trained CST stimuli, and total words produced correctly on trained ORLA stimuli. No differences were noted in CADL-3 scores. All participants were highly satisfied with telepractice as a service delivery model.
Online Swedish Individualized Active Communication Education (I-ACE) program (EN)
TYPE OF TOOL: Evaluation and treatment program.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for adults with hearing impairment.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provides an individualised home-based ACE (Active Communication Education) program. The goal is to help adults with hearing impairment improve problem-solving and self-management. Available in English, Spanish, and German.
Sensory processing measure, remote version (SPM-2) (EN)
by Mind Resources (Canadian)
TYPE OF TOOL: Assessment Tool.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians and researchers.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provides an updated and expanded version of the Sensory Processing Measure. The SPM-2 may be administered using printed forms or electronically through the WPS online Evaluation System.
Telehealth Fine Motor Assessment - Functional Skills (EN)
by Your Therapy Source
TYPE OF TOOL: Assessment Tool.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians and researchers.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provides a template to guide through the completion of a preschool/school-age functional fine motor observational assessment remotely.
Telerehab at Home: Mobile Tablet Technology for Patients With Poststroke Communication Deficits—A Pilot Feasibility Randomized Control Trial (EN)
by Mallet, K. H., Shamloul, R.M. et al.
January 12, 2023
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: SLT using telerehabilitation via mobile technology is feasible in the very early stages of acute stroke recovery. It is potentially an effective means of bridging the gap between discharge from the acute care setting to the start of outpatient SLT services.
Telerehabilitation as a Therapeutic Exercise Tool versus Face-to-Face Physiotherapy: A Systematic Review (EN)
by Muñoz-Tomás, M.T., Burillo-Lafuente, M. et al.
February 28, 2023
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Most of the studies concluded that physiotherapy interventions using telerehabilitation were at least as effective as traditional rehabilitation interventions and are considered feasible and effective options. In general, telerehabilitation interventions were shown to improve functional level and quality of life, as no significant differences with control groups were observed. This review provides information on patients’ high levels of satisfaction and adherence, with values equivalent to traditional rehabilitation in all cases.
Telerehabilitation for people with low vision (EN)
by Bittner, A., Yoshinaga, P., et al.
January 13, 2023
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: The included trial found similar efficacy between telerehabilitation with a therapist and an active control intervention of self?guided training in mostly younger to middle?aged adults with low vision who received a new wearable electronic aid. Given the disease burden and the growing interest in telemedicine, the two ongoing studies, when completed, may provide further evidence of the potential for telerehabilitation as a platform for providing services to people with low vision.
